What is the District 64 All-Star Tournament? Davis Little League is a member of California District 64. There are 12 local leagues that comprise District 64, including Davis American, Davis National, Dixon, Esparto, Travis, Rio Vista, Vacaville American, Vacaville Central, Vacaville National, Woodland American, Woodland National and Winters. All-Star teams start by playing a D64 intra-district tournament.  Davis American and National Little Leagues each support a 9/10 All-Star team (comprised of 9 & 10 year-olds), a 10/11 All-Star team (comprised of 10 & 11 year olds), an 11/12 All-Star team (comprised of 11 & 12-year-olds), and a Juniors All-Star team (comprised of Juniors players).  District 64 hosts an annual "All-Star" tournament at the end of the regular Little League season.  All levels can progress to Sectional and then Divisional Championships.  11/12 year olds have the opportunity, should they continue to win, to advance to the Regional Championships and, ultimately, to the Little League World Series in Williamsport. Every Davis Little League player age 9 or older that is in "good standing" is eligible to participate in tournament play provided they are selected to the team.  It is expected that every player selected to a District 64 Tournament Team will commit to any postseason play necessary, including practices and games, throughout the District 64 tournament period. Postseason play will begin immediately following the regular spring season.

Selection Processes

All-Star Player Selection Process

Each all-star team will consist of 12- 14 players. Every registered player/parent will be sent an email (to address in registration system) from the league asking if they would like to be considered for all-stars. Players/parents are asked to respond no later than May 10^th by applying, at no cost, through the league's online registration system.

Names of all players wishing to be considered for a team are put on an all-star ballot. The league asks opinions of players, team managers, and coaches about which players they feel have demonstrated superior ability and skill as well as a positive attitude and team sportsmanship throughout the season. Each Majors player is asked to circle 6 names from the list of players who have registered to be considered. All coaches and players will vote using the same All-Star ballot. AAA Managers rank the AAA players who express interest in being considered for an All-Star team.

Once the deadline has passed for submission of the ballots, the all star teams will be selected using the following process:

 

• Teams are selected in the following order:
• 11-12 All-Stars,
• 9-10 All-Stars,
• 10-11 All-Stars,
• Juniors All-Stars.
• All-Star managers ‘scout’ from the list of available and eligible players collected through the registration system.
• Items considered for player selection include:
• The player's regular season performance,
• The player's regular season participation,
• The tournament team's "critical needs" (catcher, pitcher, shortstop etc.),
• Committee members’ personal knowledge of players and their abilities,
• Players’ ranking from DLL regular season players and managers, and
• Input from the President, Director of Baseball, Player Rep and the Tournament Team coaches.
• Player selection is made by a Tournament Team Selection Committee consisting of: Tournament Team Manager, Player Representative, Umpire Coordinator, and two individuals appointed by the President.
  

All-Star Coach Selection Process

Every coach is asked if he/she wishes to be considered for the position of all-star coach (Manager, assistant coach or, either) at any level/age group.  He/she needs to submit a request to the Board of Directors via the league registrar by May 1st clearly stating which team he/she wishes to coach (i.e. 9-10 year-old team) together with his/her relevant experience.

The Board of Directors then meet to discuss the list of potential Managers. Together the Board selects the Manager for each team based on the coach's experience, feedback from parents and from other coaches etc.  The Head Coach then selects the assistant coach(es).  The Board of Directors will review and approve each coach selected.  All coaches must have been a manager or an assistant coach during the regular season.
